Mike McFarlane is a landscape photographer, who after living in many parts of the UK has returned to the North East of England. Fascinated by the beauty of the light and land, especially the coast, his work shares this beauty with others. Mike’s landscape photography covering Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, Teesside, Yorkshire, Scotland, UK and Europe is available in galleries nationwide and is used commercially.
In 2006 I started visiting White Lea Farm near Easington on the Durham Heritage Coast. The area was once a major source of coal, but when the pits closed, both people and land were left in difficulty. The farm and surrounding coast are now owned and managed by the National Trust.

Really, I wasn’t meant to be there. So why was I there? Driving up the road this morning, bound for Newton by the Sea, I was thinking about old friends, friends who I had lost contact with and I was wondering what had become of them. Pulling off the A1, I felt an urge to go to elsewhere rather than Newton, something about the sky above my new intended area. A ripe sense of drama just waiting for me to commit to a vision. A dark brooding sky it is. But I didn’t have the experience I expected!

ppfuk.com recently invited me to select their Photographer of the Week. After a bit of diary organisation madness, as I’m never here, we fixed a date. Head on over to ppfuk.com to have a look at the results, and maybe join to add your own photographs.

It’s time for the Network Artists Art Tour again, and this year I’m exhibiting my work at the Hearth @ Horsley in Northumberland with one of the most diverse ranges of art forms you will find under one roof, with a great coffee shop and pub lunches!
